| NFD version 0.4.0 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Release date: TBD |
| |
| .. note:: |
| Version 0.4.0 introduces several breaking changes to API and wire format of management protocols |
| |
| Changes since version 0.3.4: |
| |
| New features: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - **(breaking change)** Refactored implementation of face system (:issue:`3088`, |
| :issue:`3104`, :issue:`3165`, :issue:`3168`, :issue:`3225`, :issue:`3226`) |
| |
| The abstraction to send/receive NDN packets has been split into Transport, LinkService, and Face: |
| |
| * *Transport* provides delivery of the data blocks over specific underlying channels |
| (raw ethernet packets, unicast/multicast UDP datagrams, TCP and WebSocket streams) |
| |
| Implemented: :NFD:`UnixStreamTransport`, :NFD:`UnicastUdpTransport`, :NFD:`MulticastUdpTransport`. |
| |
| * *LinkService* provides an "adaptation" layer to translate between NDN packets and data |
| blocks communicated through Transport. For example, LinkService can provide packet |
| fragmentation and reassembly services. |
| |
| Implemented: :NFD:`GenericLinkService` |
| |
| * *Face* provides combines Transport and LinkServices, providing high-level interface to work |
| with Interest/Data/Nack packets inside NFD. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| This feature replaces support for signaling between local applications and NFD from |
| LocalControlHeader with NDNLPv2 protocol. If your application uses |
| LocalControlHeader features, it must be updated to use the new protocol (e.g., update |
| to use ndn-cxx >= 0.4.0) |
| |
| - Support for NDNLPv2 (http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLPv2, |
| :issue:`2520`, :issue:`2763`, :issue:`2841`) |
| |
| * Network NACK (:issue:`2883`) |
| |
| - Networking NACK in pipelines and best-route strategy (:issue:`3156`) |
| |
| - Refactored implementation of NFD management (:issue:`2200`, :issue:`2107`) |
| |
| - Interest forwarding processes Link included in interest packets (:issue:`3034`) |
| |
| .. note:: |
| This feature requires proper defintion of new ``tables.network_region`` section in |
| the NFD config file (:issue:`3159`) |
| |
| - Full support for UDP permanent faces (:issue:`2993`, :issue:`2989`, :issue:`3018`) |
| |
| Updates and bug fixes: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Display extended information for fatal NFD errors (:issue:`2541`) |
| |
| - Compilation fixes for clang-700.0.72 (Apple LLVM 7.0.0) (:issue:`3209`) |
| |
| - Properly handle exception from NetworkMonitor when the platform doesn't support it |
| (:issue:`3195`) |
| |
| Deprecated: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - BroadcastStrategy (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/broadcast``) renamed as MulticastStrategy |
| (``/localhost/nfd/strategy/multicast``) (:issue:`3011`) |
| |
| Planned features for future releases: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Improvements and extension of NDNLPv2 support |
| |
| * New transports |
| * New link service implementation, including support for fragmentation and assembly |
| |
| - Improved support for automatic prefix propagation (:issue:`3211`, :issue:`2413`) |
